"Insofar as society is composed of de-individualized human beings, it is completely at the mercy of ruthless individualists.
Let it band together into groups and organizations as much as it likes – it is just this banding together and the resultant extinction of the individual personality that makes it succumb so readily to a dictator.
A million zeros joined together do not, unfortunately, add up to one."
- Carl Jung

"I only study the things I like; I apply my mind only to matters that interest me. They’ll be useful - or useless - to me or to others in due course. I’ll be given - or not given - the opportunity of benefiting from what I’ve learned. In any case, I’ll have enjoyed the inestimable advantage of doing things I like doing and following my own inclinations."

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been deceived long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the deception. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The deception has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
- Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Darkness
